I’m a fan of Emily Watson and David Tennant mostly because of his ‘jumpy’ acting and expressive facial movements but I’m not so sure about their pairing here. It’s hard to imagine him as a cabinet minister or scheming politician and even the makeup and hair to make him older doesn’t quite do it. It is equally hard to imagine Emily as the subservient, supportive Politician’s wife. I do get the feeling that the casting was necessary for where this is heading as Tennant does a very good ‘moody’ performance and Watson does ‘ruthless’ very well.
